Excerpt from the book.
Our oceans and waterways are teeming with marine algae - the essence of life in an underwater world. This book illustrates the beauty of an environment that most people will never see.
This body of work is an attempt to capture the feelings I experience when I move through these spaces. When diving with my camera, I am alone, completely disconnected from the distractions of the terrestrial world. My only concentration is to keep the rhythmic sounds of my breath moving through my regulator. It's a juxtaposition between being in the most peaceful and beautiful place on earth and the absolute faith I have in my equipment and abilities to be able to survive such a hazardous environment.
Find somewhere quiet to read this book and try to imagine the sensation of being a guest in such a wondrous place. A world that is alive and constantly moving. You can decide to surrender to this motion and allow the ocean to guide you, or you can move weightless in any direction you choose. The only constant is that you are always a visitor and you can never stay for long.
I wonder if this is why it remains so beautiful?

Cradle Mountain and Freycinet workshops coming sooner than you think!

We told you these workshops were popular! Cradle Mountain has almost sold out and with less than a month to go before our amazing Cradle Mountain workshop kicks off, you need to hurry if you are coming!
By far our most popular workshop, we stay at the Cradle Mountain Lodge. You'll spend 4 fabulous days photographing one of Australia's premier landscape regions under the guided tuition of award-winning photographers Tom Putt and myself!

There is plenty to photograph in this region, from the views across Dove Lake to Cradle Mountain at both sunrise and sunset to the golden fagus that surrounds the ancient glacial walls. This workshop is for anyone who enjoys the outdoors, good food and good company as we enjoy the hospitality of the Cradle Mountain Lodge. We spend most of our days outdoors shooting but then take time in the evenings to review your images and offer constructive feedback for you to take into the field the next day.

Coming soon, my next BIG adventure

I'm off on a jet plane in the next few weeks and going to a rather exotic destination! Egypt and the Red Sea is my next port of call and I'm really looking forward to focussing all my attention on diving and underwater photography. I hope to bring back enough great images to create my next publication. Look out for some articles from Egypt that I hope to be posting whilst away (well not from my underwater world, but as soon as I resurface!) as long as I remember to take my international plug adaptor! You can check out my other articles here while you wait for my Egyptian adventure to appear.

Computer software/workflow workshops

Due to the popularity of individual computer based workshops and the obvious thirst for knowledge I see at these workshops, I have decided to offer some computer software / workflow workshops next year. If you are a pro or someone who just takes a lot of photos and needs to know the best way to handle those all important pics, this easy to follow workshop will definitely see you on the right track. If you are interested in this please take a couple of minutes to complete this survey and register your interest. As a thank you, I will be giving away copies of my new book to three randomly selected participants.
